. Challenges often arise wheninstructing students on essential problem framing skills, such as defining constraints andevaluation metrics, due to students’ limited experience and eagerness to get into the “realengineering” work of designing and building. This often leads to ill-informed designs as novicedesigners fail to consider the needs of those who they are designing for, miss critical aspects ofthe design, or simply re-create already existing technologies, among other challenges. As statedin ABET student outcome 2, students must attain “an ability to apply engineering design toproduce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, andwelfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic

Model for the Secondary-TertiaryTransition in Mathematics developed by Clark and Lovric [1],[2] is completed. The theoreticalmodel proposes that the secondary-tertiary transition in mathematics is a rite of passage [1],[2].During the transition, students may struggle due to differences in high school and collegemathematics [1],[2]. Because of this struggle, mathematics is commonly characterized as agatekeeper to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) degrees [3].Therefore, for mathematics-heavy STEM majors, such as engineering, mathematics courserequirements could inhibit STEM degree completion. By better understanding the secondary-tertiary transition in mathematics, student accessibility to college mathematics could
